In addition, to flute, I have studied secondary instruments including piano, voice, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone, percussion, violin, viola, and cello. I would consider my skills in piano and voice to be strong. During my teaching, I have had experiences playing saxophone, trombone, and baritone.
